Mobile sink node properly used in routing protocols can improve network performance. Thus we investigate the state-of-the-art mobile sink based query-based and location-based routing protocols. The latter strategy can be further classified into backbone-based and rendezvous-based routing protocols. In this paper, we first describe the main principles of the most representative routing strategies with sink mobility support, and highlight their advantages and disadvantages. Descriptions and comparisons of several typical routing protocols are given to deepen the understanding.
